Command overview

You can bind some of these useful commands in your config.

avy-goto-char

Input one char, jump to it with a tree.

(global-set-key (kbd "π") 'avy-goto-char)

After πb:

avy-goto-char

avy-goto-char-2

Input two consecutive chars, jump to the first one with a tree.

The advantage over the previous one is less candidates for the tree search. And it's not too inconvenient to enter two consecutive chars instead of one.

(global-set-key (kbd "C-'") 'avy-goto-char-2)

After C-' bu:

avy-goto-char-2

avy-goto-line

Input zero chars, jump to a line start with a tree.

(global-set-key (kbd "M-g f") 'avy-goto-line)

After M-g f:

avy-goto-line

avy-goto-word-1

Input one char at word start, jump to a word start with a tree.

(global-set-key (kbd "M-g w") 'avy-goto-word-1)

After M-g wb:

avy-goto-word-1

avy-goto-word-0

Input zero chars, jump to a word start with a tree.

Compared to avy-goto-word-1, there are a lot more candidates. But at a least there's not need to input the initial char.

(global-set-key (kbd "M-g e") 'avy-goto-word-0)

After M-g e:

avy-goto-word-0

Other commands

There are some more commands which you can explore yourself by looking at the code.
